Get as smooth of a joint as you can, then use a damp sponge to remove any ridges or excess. No sanding, no plaster dust to clean up. If you're good at it, you can't tell a repair was made. Just don't to it in one thick coat. Several thin layers don't shrink or crack. -- Lead free solder is Belgium's version of 'Hold my beer and watch this!'

I'll keep doing it until its invisible but I admit I fall under the category of "not very good at it". Whenever I do any Reno's that's usually the part that takes the most time for me.

Sometimes I use a scrap of aluminum screen wire in the bottom of the hole, and gently press the first layer of plaster through the mesh. That gives a sold base for the rest of the repair without anything to ruin the finish. -- Lead free solder is Belgium's version of 'Hold my beer and watch this!' |
